Jazz Richards will make a Premier League start on Saturday as the Swans look to gain their first away win of the season<\/p>\n
Richards came on for the injured Angel Rangel last Sunday and now will face his first start of the season as the Swans travel to Blackburn at the weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a good opportunity for me to come in and prove myself.” Richards told the Western Mail<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been waiting a while. I\u2019ve been travelling\u00a0with the squad, getting on the bench but not having the game time I would have liked.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow the opportunity has come I am desperate to take it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were a few clubs that wanted to take me on loan but the manager asked me to wait around because I am part of his plans. He said I was a back up to Angel but if the opportunity came I would be the one to play.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was strongly thinking about going out on loan even though the manager had asked me to be patient and wait.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt I needed to go out and play in front of good crowds and get that experience. But I took his word for it and waited and now I\u2019ve got his chance.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the manager speaks to me he is always positive. He is a brilliant manager, I don\u2019t think there are many better around so I took his word for it,\u201d added Richards.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve learned a lot of watching Angel week-in, week-out. He is so positive going forward and it\u2019s something I have tried to add to my game over the last year.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe manager said I grew into the game against Aston Villa last weekend so it was nice to hear that. I\u2019m much better prepared for the next game and I\u2019ve got the boys around me who help me all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
